Ahhhh, been hearing this for a while now but there are just so many rumours out there. How good is your source??? We'd also heard the rumour that he's split from Thor and that seems to have been confirmed as true by him on Twitter.

Industry insider & normally on the money. It's only speculation but after the rough year he has had I could understand him wanting to make some major changes to his program.
I havent heard anything about the split from Thor but I did notice Travis Pastrana did his X games FMX run in Fox gear with the logo's covered. Maybe it is linked up.

Has the GFC hit the sport hard again has Reed gone mental with ego or dr's advice ? or is it just big time executives feed up with big pay checks going to people who are no where to be seen.

Start calling Reed the boy in the bubble seems to be always something no right with him. Id like to see THOR invest there money else where. if the rumour is true ? young Talent like Adam C if he doesnt already have a lifetime contract with ASTARS.

Super X is going to be killer this year but doubt that promoters can keep there promise with Stewart

Whatever Reedy does whether he stays on the Kawi or switches to another brand, let's just hope he has fun with it and does good like we know he can. He'll be on the gas either way and in whatever gear he's wearing!! lol

If you look on the thormx website reedys name has been taken off there pro riders list

The shirt on his back won't make a difference is his speed at all. I reckon Honda with red rooster sponsorship

haha that sounds like a deal timmo would be all over like a fat kid on a cupcake....

On a serious note if this seat is vacant before super x. ????

This leaves Kawasaki a seat and a fistfull of currency to get somone here to ride what would have been the REED machine

Not really both times chad has raced super X his bikes have been imported from the US completely, no input from the Aussie teams has gone into them. It is a good question who will be on a 450 Kawie after Billy Mac vacated the seat after the nationals. I would reckon the moss boys will b the cool air kawie team for super X.

Timmo is probally bank rolling the team. From what have seen he has a massive input to Red Roosters cash flow

Could we see Wey , Weimer , Hansen be brought across ???? or any other big names that maybe off contract

From Thor:

After a nine-year relationship that resulted in five American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) titles across the supercross and motocross disciplines, Thor MX and veteran Australian rider Chad Reed are parting ways.

Since coming to the U.S. in 2002, Reed has been a member of the Thor MX and Parts Unlimited family, contributing tremendously to the brand’s longstanding presence at the top of the motocross apparel industry. His racing résumé has solidified his standing as one of the most prolific riders in the history of the sport and has allowed Reed to become the most successful international competitor of all time.

Thor MX and Parts Unlimited would like to thank Reed for his years as part of the Thor MX family and wish him the best of luck with his new family and all future endeavors.

Hmmmm, I heard he was looking at a red rooster too
